GENEALOGY
In this section are several lineages. The first two are of the first branches of the Spaulding family to reach and settle in Colorado Springs: Francis C. Spaulding and his family from Tennessee in 1871 and George Hamer Spaulding and his family from Illinois in 1919. Following these two lineages are those of Rev. John Franklin Spalding, who came west to Denver in 1873 to serve as Bishop of Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico, and, just for the fun of it, Albert G. Spalding, who never made any Colorado history, but instead was making baseball and world history in Chicago in the 1870s. Other Spalding/Spaulding lineages may be added later.

Spalding, Albert G. (1850-1915) – Summary bio
After fully dedicating his career to baseball, in 1871 Albert Goodwill Spalding went on to become pro baseball's first recorded 200 game winner, dividing his time between the Boston Red Stockings and the Chicago White Stockings. As first captain/manager and later as president/owner of the White Stockings, Spalding helped mold Chicago into the baseball dynasty of the 1880s. Yet, it was as an owner that Spalding had his greatest cultural impact. In 1876, he helped found the National League and became its president in 1901. Through such actions, he was key in establishing baseball as a viable and acceptable commercial enterprise. Spalding helped to solidify professional baseball as a business. In addition to his baseball duties, in 1876 he and his brother opened their first sporting goods store in Chicago, the beginning of the Spalding sporting goods chain. _____________________________________________________________________________
